Level - Professional
CPD 12 hours
Most statistical methods are aimed at characterizing expected values, but in many settings it is the unexpected values, the extremes or outliers, that are of interest - e.g. extreme weather events, rare drug toxicities, or extreme movements in financial markets. This course covers the theory and associated statistical methods which form the cornerstone of this subject and which enable extrapolation to levels beyond those already observed in a dataset.

The course begins with a brief presentation of linear mixed models for continuous hierarchical data. The course focus is from the modeller’s perspective and on applications. Emphasis will be on model formulation, parameter estimation, and hypothesis testing, as well as on the distinction between the random-effects (hierarchical) model and the implied marginal model. It will be shown that, if no appropriate measures are taken, missing data can seriously jeopardize results, and interpretation difficulties are bound to occur. Methods to properly analyse incomplete data, under flexible assumptions, will be presented.

Level: Professional
CPD: 6 hours
Kriging (or Gaussian process regression) has proven to be of great interest when trying to approximate a costly function to evaluate, in a closed form. The aim of the workshop is to show how useful surrogate models can be; to detail how to build such models in R; and to make clear the assumptions these models rely on. In the morning we introduce the concepts of Kriging through lectures and lab sessions. During the afternoon we see in more detail how to tune these models and how they can be used to solve optimization problems. The aim of the afternoon lab is to quickly find the settings of a catapult numerical simulator that give the longest shot.

Standard methods of survival analysis based on the Kaplan-Meier estimate of a survivor function, the log rank test and Cox regression modelling are widely used in many different areas of application. But often, the assumptions that underlie these techniques may not be valid, or the data structure may be more complex. Extensions of these basic methods allow particular features of data that occur in practice to be handled appropriately. This two fay course will describe some of these more advanced methods and illustrate their practical application using SAS and R.
